A few of our top designers speak candidly about the people, places and styles that inspire their work.

“There have been two major influences. The first was Le Corbusier. His Villa Savoye outside of Paris changed me forever as a teenager. I had never seen architecture before, nor have I seen since, exhibiting such purity. It set a standard of design integrity that has followed me throughout my career. More recently, the designs of the 1940s master Gilbert Poillerat have helped focus my creative direction.” -Geoffrey Bradfield
